<VV> Detonation and overheating

[Hugo Miller]

I'll let you know ;) The two things - the detonation and the 
over-heating - are quite separate. It detonates even when cold, I can 
live with that & work around it. The overheating is more of a problem as 
I have to wait ten minutes for it to cool down after about fifteen 
miles. Never had to walk anywhere yet though ;)
